According to Alexa.com, the top ten websites globally are Google, YouTube, Facebook, Baidu, Wikipedia, Reddit, Yahoo, Google India, Qq, and Taobao. All ten of these sites are Web 2.0 sites. They are so popular for a variety of reasons from entertainment value to connecting with friends, family, and people around the world, to having the answer to any question right at your fingertips. Using Facebook as an example, there is so much more to it than telling people what you are doing and sharing pictures, which is mostly what it was used for in the beginning. Now you can share videos, play games, make groups, join groups, and meet people from all over the world, among many other things. As far as having information right at your fingertips, you can utilize anything from a simple search engine, to Wikipedia, to Wikis that have very specific information all in one place. It has been so interesting watching the internet grow and change into Web 2.0 and I can't wait to see what else they come up with.
